The Toddler program helps to prepare the child not just for school, but also for life. This class for children starting at 18 months meets two, three, or five days a week. Children do not need to be toilet-trained to participate, as toilet-training is an integral part of our Toddler program.
The class is composed of three elements: the prepared environment, observation, and guidance. Classes focus on practical life exercises, sensory exploration, and vocabulary enrichment to help children acquire a sense of order. The Toddler classroom allows children to move easily from large muscle movement areas to fine motor exercises, including pouring, sweeping, dusting, buttoning, zipping, and table setting. A child's inclination for independence is respected by giving him skills to accomplish tasks independently.
This provides opportunities for freedom and exploration in a safe and loving atmosphere. The children learn to take care of themselves and their surroundings and develop skills to communicate with one another. Lessons of grace and courtesy help the children develop respect for themselves, for others, and for the (class) environment.

The Advanced Primary program is tailored for children aged 3.5 to 5 years who are ready to engage in a more focused and challenging learning environment. This program meets five days a week, offering continuity and structure to support their developmental and academic growth.
At this stage, children thrive in a larger, mixed-age classroom that fosters social interaction, collaboration, and peer learning. They further develop their social skills, language, motor coordination, and perceptual abilities through guided, hands-on experiences.
The curriculum is designed to refine and expand upon the foundational skills acquired in earlier stages. Using a multi-sensory approach, children explore advanced concepts in language, mathematics, geography, art, science, and music. They develop fluency in reading through phonics, master mathematical operations using concrete materials, and investigate scientific and geographical concepts through sensorial activities and real-life materials.
Daily Spanish lessons are integrated into the program, providing language exposure and cultural enrichment. Through the Montessori method, children are prepared for advanced reading, writing, math, and science exploration, all while fostering independence, critical thinking, and a love of learning. This program ensures that each child builds a strong foundation for future academic success and personal development.

The essence of Dr. Maria Montessori’s method is to allow for the development of natural human tendencies and to help children as they adapt to their culture. The curriculum is grounded in the universal laws of human development that include movement, language, order, adaptation, work, self- discipline, exploration, self-perfection, abstract thinking, imagination and creativity.
A goal of the Montessori program is to help children think for themselves and to be actively involved in their own education. This is one distinction between a Montessori program and many conventional school programs. The Montessori environment is filled with beautiful and enticing age- appropriate materials.
